But acknowledging those feelings can be a powerful first step in living with a dementia diagnosis.

This program can be a valuable tool in facing those challenges in a safe and supportive atmosphere.

Breathing and slow movement exercises will help you to explore your mind and body at anatural pace, without forcing anything. You will learn to adopt a mentality of release and surrender, which will help you cultivate peaceful acceptance.

The Alzheimer’s Association of WNY is working with Creative Wellness in East Aurora to offer a monthly workshop for those living with dementia and their care partners.

These hands on workshops will show you how to de-stress and re-energize while immersed in a calm, peaceful and relaxing environment.

There are no prerequisites for this program just a desire to learn how to recognize your need to be at peace.
